Privacy Policy

This English version is provided for information only. The German version is legally binding.

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Georg Lutzenberger e.K. – Hotel Alte Post
Marienplatz 19, 86956 Schongau, Germany
Phone: +49 8861 23200
Email: info@altepost-schongau.de

2. Hosting and server log files

When you visit this website, our web host automatically collects technical information known as server log files. These include your IP address, the date and time of access, the page requested, the amount of data transferred, browser type and operating system, and the previously visited page (referrer). This data is used exclusively to provide the website in a technically error-free manner and to detect misuse (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, legitimate interest in the operation and security of the website). It is not combined with other data sources.

3. Cookies

This website does not use analytics or marketing cookies. Only technically necessary data required for the operation of the website is processed.

4. Contacting us

If you contact us by phone, WhatsApp or email, the information you provide (e.g. name, contact details, content of your enquiry) will be stored and processed in order to handle your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR where the enquiry relates to the initiation or performance of a contract, and otherwise Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry).

5. Room booking

For online room bookings, we link to our partner's external booking system. No data is transferred to the provider unless you click a booking button. Only when you click does the booking system open in a new window, and your browser transmits technically necessary data (e.g. your IP address) to the provider. Data processing during the booking process on the external platform is governed by the privacy policy of the booking system provider published there.

On the homepage, the contact page and the day-trip destinations, we link to Google Maps to help you with directions and route planning. No map is embedded – Google Maps only opens in a new window when you actively click such a link, and only then is data (e.g. your IP address and the start and destination of the route) transmitted to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. A transfer to Google LLC in the USA cannot be ruled out. Information on data protection at Google can be found at policies.google.com/privacy.

7. Fonts

This website uses the fonts “Fraunces”, “Jost” and “Parisienne”. All fonts are hosted locally on our own server. No connection is made to servers of Google or other providers, and no data is transmitted to third parties.

8. SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by “https://” in your browser's address bar.

9. Your rights

You have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients and the purpose of the data processing, as well as the right to rectification, blocking, erasure or restriction of the processing of this data. For this purpose and for any further questions on data protection, you can contact us at any time at the address given above. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority.

Competent supervisory authority: Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (BayLDA), Promenade 27, 91522 Ansbach, Germany.
